I went to the original Cooks museum in the 80s. This multi-million dollar museum is a hidden gem in North Alabama! It’s fun for groups, children of all ages, and solo adults or couples. This is the ONLY museum I’ve been to that has a cave. The cave is the most realistic of any actual cave I’ve ever been too. The taxidermy is beautiful. I know, I’m not really into dead animals, but when they represent a biome of species it’s a different thing. The sand table showing biomes is wonderful. I’ve been here about a dozen times and I still see new things each time. Well worth the visit.

This is a quaint little shop that sells all types of pecans in assorted sizes. These may great and inexpensive one-of-a-kind gifts. As others have noted, the Key Lime Pecans are amazing and I've never seen them anywhere else. If you do buy bags as gifts get a bag or small tub of the Key Lime pecans for yourself!

I recently had the chance to visit The Cross Eyed Owl Brewing Co. Taproom in Decatur, Alabama. I should note that living abroad I have a chance to sample beer from Shanghai to Saigon and from Australia to Alabama. From the renovated warehouse facility to the simply wickedly well done graphics and branding, XEO has nailed the cool mircoBrew experience. Don’t miss the chance to sample multiple beers but also spend some time with your favorite!
